From Jane Jacobs, Deepa Mehta, Marshall McLuhan, Stephen Lewis and Romeo Dallaire to Samantha Nutt, David Suzuki, Margaret Atwood, Oscar Peterson, Leonard Cohen and forty others, McGoogan shows us why and how Canadians have made their mark globally as initiators and agents of progressive change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCutting-edge Canada, the focus of this book, is uniquely pluralistic-multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multinational.
